Okuma Howa Act 3 turret leak

partsproduction · Nov 15, 2018

A business associate has an older lathe which is leaking hydraulic oil out of the turret area, about one 5 gallon pail per week. We are wondering if any members have had experience with this problem? Basically, how long should he expect to be down? Or, can he expect O-H to have replacements?
Thanks,

You know you're not going o get any intelligent answers without giving up some more information, like make and model of the machine, and most of these guys like to see pictures too.

The make is Okuma-Howa (Per the title) and the model is Act 3.

I would think Okuma could get the o-rings he needs to rebuild it. If I was doing it I would pull it apart and take the piston o-rings and have them matched up at Zatkoff or similar o-ring rep. It's a day job if you have the parts on hand. I might be able to get a few photos of the parts book for the turret and part numbers for the o-rings. I have a customer that has one of these and he has the original parts list and parts book, 2 separate books.

Used to have an Act3 and an Act4. Great bulldozer of a machine. If all is indexing ok, then it is just a bunch of seals. I wouldn't hold your breath on the OEM to get parts. Last time I called for parts, and gave them the serial number, they said, "where's the rest"? (Ours was 0023 I believe). I'd match them up locally if you can. Like already said, not a bad job, just need the correct seals.

Probably all off the shelf items.

I pinched the big turret oring a few years ago on my act20.

Oring matl from mcmaster a razor blade and some super glue and I was back in business.

didn't want to wait for parts from Japan.
